Paul I of Constantinople or Saint Paul the Confessor, was the sixth bishop of Constantinople, elected first in 337. Paul I became involved in the Arian controversy which drew in the Emperor of the West, Constans, and his counterpart in the East, his brother Roman emperor Constantius II. Paul I was installed and deposed three times from the See of Constantinople between 337 and 350. He was murdered by strangulation during his third and final exile in Cappadocia. His feast day is on 6 November.
